Transform a garden shed into a storage powerhouse with these makeover ideas for better organization and design.

The prefabricated garden sheds found at most large gardening stores can provide a secure, functional spot to store garden tools—but may not provide the kind of style you’re looking for in your backyard. Use some of these ideas to transform any generic-looking storage shed into something more functional and attractive. Garden storage doesn’t have to be boring—and you definitely don’t want potential buyers ready to make an offer until catching a glimpse of the eyesore in the backyard!

Declutter with style

The shed’s interior makeover focused on creating a garden workspace, keeping garden tools off the floor and adding storage. The stylish face-lift uses color as an organizational guide. The cheerful red paint from the exterior repeats on the inside as blocks of color to map designated spaces to hang rakes, pruners and more. The red hue is paired with soft gray blocks to help differentiate tools. Open shelving above the pegboard builds in a place to stack terra-cotta pots. A flea-market chandelier lights the space with an unexpected sparkle.
